ctress Yami Gautam, who is currently
preparing for her upcoming film ‘Uri’,
Asaid playing an intelligence officer

commands certain degree of discipline.
“The prep work for ‘Uri’ has just begun.
Playing an intelligence officer on screen
commands a certain degree of discipline

and needs a body mannerism which is tough
and MMA training will serve
The film, directed by Aditya Dhar, is based
on the Uri attacks of September 2016. Yami

plays an intelligence officer alongside actor
Vicky Kaushal in the film. “In terms of the
action training, we are shortlisting best
options and MMA is a crucial part of the role

and that’s why intense training for that will be
what time would be invested in. The MMA is
more to suit the body language which the
script demands,” she added.

In September 18, 2016, terrorists from
Pakistan attacked a military base in Uri
in Jammu and Kashmir leaving 19 Indian
soldiers dead. Eleven days later, the Indian

Army retaliated with a surgical strike,
heightening India-Pakistan tensions.
Vicky will undergo some para-military
training for a month to bulk up some kilos

before starting the shoot.
